I saw someone mention last week that Downton Abbey's Matthew and Mary have become the 1-800-Contacts "Your special eyes!" people. In last night's episode they totally were.
Hee. They totally are. Between Matthew being so ridiculous noble about the money, to the fact that poor conveniently dead Livinia took time out from dying from the flu to write her previously poor but now miraculously rich father just to tell him that she caught her fiance macking on another woman and isn't he noble for sacrificing himself to Livinia,, *cough*cough*die* so the man immediately re-wrote his will (somehow missing that his other heir had died BEFORE Livinia, so as to give all of that convenient boatload of cash to Matthew. And isn't Matthew so noble so as to not take it, but now he can take it 100% conflict free so that the Crawley's don't have to move into a smaller mansion that will only have *gasp* EIGHT servants.
The horror! *snerk*
Poor Edith, though. Liked her dress better than Mary's.
